Effects of the change of multipile electrocardiogram parameters on P-R interval in pregnant women / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the change of multiple electrocardiogram(ECG) parameters and their impact on P-R interval in pregnant women.Methods Healthy women aged 20-40 years were enrolled and divided into 4 groupscontrol group (n =194),early-pregnant group (n =172),mediate-stage group (n =105)and late-phase group(111).The following data were collected for analysis:heart rate (HR),axis,rotation,P-R interval(on lead V3),and p wave duration(on lead Ⅱ).Between-group analysis and multiple liner regression analysis were conducted.Results Compared with the control group,we found no significant difference in the early-pregnant group,but HR significantly increased in the mediate-stage group and late-phase group((77.76 ± 14.75) beat/min vs.(78.12 ± 11.24) beat/min vs.(84.21 ± 11.91) beat/min vs.(88.15 ± 15.05) beat/min,P ＜ 0.05).BP increased with the duration of pregnancy.Axis and P wave duration decreased with the duration of pregnancy.We found no significant difference in the early-pregnant group,but significantly decreased axis and P wave duration in the mediate-stage group and late-phase group (axis(61.11 ± 225.84) ° vs.(56.97 ±25.17)° vs.(50.11 ±21.78)° vs.(41.72 ±28.36)°,P ＜0.05;P wave duration(0.100 ±0.015)s vs.(0.099 ± 0.012) s vs.(0.095 ± 0.013) s vs.(0.093 ± 0.013) s,P ＜ 0.05).P-R interval was significantly shorter in women at all the three stages of pregnancy than in the healthy controls ((0.145 ± 0.021)) svs.(0.138±0.019) s vs.(0.133 ±0.020) s vs.(0.131 ±0.019) s,P ＜0.05).There was no significant difference found in heart rotation proportion among the four groups.Multiple liner regression analysis indicated that only pregnancy factors (t =-4.607,P =0.000) and p wave duration (t =9.339,P =0.000) had significant influences on P-R interval.Conclusion P-R interval is negatively correlated to pregnancy stage and positively correlated to p wave duration,but irrelevant to HR and axis in pregnant women.
